[Online Event] Lunch and Learn: EMBRACING AGEING with WISD0M

Hosted by Age Friendly Edmonton

Let’s start off 2024 by welcoming Joyce Perrin our guest speaker today! In today's fast-paced environment, aging is a factor that significantly impacts our products, actions, and interactions, especially with the retirement of the baby boomer generation. Aging not only plays a pivotal role in the overall health of our populations but also in the formation of strong relationships, the building of trust, and the fostering of deeper understanding among aging individuals. At the age 57 Joyce embarked on a solo global journey, across 156 countries and 31 territories. After 23 years of adventures she settled in Panama, where she co-founded the Panama Hospice and Respite Foundation. Finally returning to Canada at age 80, and despite several health challenges, including blindness in one eye and breast cancer, Joyce, now 86 and residing in Pickering, just east of Toronto, finds purpose in supporting fellow survivors, volunteering with health teams and encouraging people, through her book and speaking engagements, to pursue their passions, no matter their age.
